Traveler reviews
Very enjoyable tour
Very enjoyable tour despite the weather. DJ was knowledgeable and entertaining
Great day out
Fantastic tour taking in great scenery and locations. Highly recommended. very friendly driver Only down side was that we were given the wrong meeting location and start time. Only found out after making a phone call.
Relaxing
The trip is well worth the value of money. It was a great day out with my parents.
Highway Robbery *BEWARE*
Think twice about using Viator and Paddy Wagon Tours. They changed the time and location, but never notified our group. They claim they sent an email, but never received anything from them. There were two other parties there that also never received notification from the tour operator or Viator. We did receive an email from Viator that morning confirming the time and location that I had on my confirmation email. The tour operator changed the location and time. They took our $900+ dollars and told us to go pound sand and would not give us a refund. Viator does not help or protect you from sketchy tours. Very disappointed, think twice
A pleasant day
The tour itself is lovely but our tour guide, Tommy, made it even more special.
